How imperative is it to torque the caliper bracket bolts to 136 ft lbs? In the past on other vehicles when doing rotors i've only just hand tightened them. never used a torque stick. And does the 136 ft lbs still hold true for 2012?

I've put mine on without a torque wrench more times than I care to remember and never found a problem when it was time to pull them off again, but I've done plenty of dumb stuff I would advise others not to emulate.

There was no change in the brake system I'm aware of during the model run so I can't see using that torque value doing you wrong.

Took this from the 2012 Manual, it seems like M226 Fill and Drain plug should be 32 ft-lbs?

Did someone know the torque specs for the 4 bolts that anker the seat to the floor. I have a 2009 X trim. Thanks

So what is the M226 drain and fill plugs? I have a 2011 Pro-4X and am about to do this.

somewhere between tight enough so it doesn't leak and not stripping the threads.

seriously, don't overthink it. its a drain plug....not a spaceship

 

[Angry Hippo]

"Good and tight" means a lot of different things to different people - It always depends on how well your wrenching arm is calibrated - but to me the neighborhood of 32 ft/lbs would probably be 'good and tight'.

So I just got around to the oil and my plug is TIGHT. Doesnt look like a crush washer is on there or it's been crushed 50 times. Might need a cheater bar, all my ratchets are like 10". It'll shear with my luck.
